Paris Saint-Germain sporting advisor Luis Campos’ first two transfer windows have been a bag of mixed results. Nonetheless, it appears the Portuguese club chief will do a lot of heavy lifting this summer, and one of the targets is Randal Kolo Muani.
La chaine L’Équipe reported on Sunday, citing sources, that PSG’s Plan A in attack for the transfer window this summer is Kolo Muani.

Additionally, the French media outlet adds that the Eintracht Frankfurt star is interested in joining the capital club due to him getting along with Kylian Mbappe, as the two were teammates on the France national team at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

However, there’s one possible issue with this potential pursuit. Christian Falk recently reported on Caught Offside that Frankfurt is hoping for a record fee and have set a benchmark of €100 million.
The 24-year-old is under contract until 2027, so the German club holds the leverage with any interested club. As a result, the fee could result in PSG turning to Plan B, which will be Marcus Thuram, who’s a free agent in June.
